ANCC Magnet Designation

In 2010, all of UNC Medical Center celebrated upon learning that we achieved ANCC Magnet Designation ® - a national designation for nursing excellence awarded to very few hospitals by the American Nursing Credentialing Center. We have maintained that distinction every year since. Since 1993, ANCC has established the standards of practice that have proven to deliver positive outcomes for nurse work environments and patient care. The UNC Medical Center's leadership team's commitment to achieve Magnet status advances our mission to continually improve nursing quality in the pursuit of excellence.
